BUYING FANCY POULTRY.



Mado "a Profitable Industry.
Upon the question of buying TIC pure
stock of the reputable breeds of poul-
try, We suppose OF course the breeder
is entering into the business with de-
termination To excl, else he or she had
bette. let tho high-priccd birds alone.
The very first thing TO be done in the
poultry business is also one of the most
important ones, viz; buying tho breed
ing stock, as so mach of tho future
profits depend upon and are regulated
by this part of tho work. 1t shows
very poor economy, indeed. for tho
beginner to try to buy his fowls where
he can get them the cheapest. and II
this is done he will BIO most surely dis
appointed in tho end.
The amateur should always use his
utmost pains 10 get hold of extra choice
specimens If it is possible to obtain
them. and when he has satisfied him
self that he has found such stock for
sale he should buy them Mt once, be-
fore tho opportunity slips away from
him, for during the last several seasons
the purchasers for fine stock are quito
numerous, and the breeder will soon
sell to some ono else if you do not take
them at once.
Do not let high prices scare you out
of trade when you are satisfied rs to
the quality of stock in question. The
best specimens can never bs obtained
at very low prices, and as like gener-
ally prod lcos like, high-priced stock
will soon pay for themselves by the
same quality of utility transmitted to
the offspring raised.
1t must be remembered that tho
breeders have to improve their own
stock each year by the Introduction OF
choice, high-priccd male birds of the
same breed, but of q different strain,
in order TO bring fresh blood into his
flock and TO give the young chicks
raised u good healthy constitution.
Good health is always an important
item with live stock of any variety,
and with poultry it would be good
idea to have the sexes of the breeding
stock at least a year different in their
ages. Good, well-formed pullets
mated with two-year-cocks, mako
about as desirable a breeding-pen as
can be obtained.
Before selecting which breed 10 use,
the beginner should always first de-
tormino just what qualities he wishes
to have best developed in his flock and
then ho can select which breed is best
adapted to his wishes. -IndiGHa

NOTICE.
"Those interested in tho formation

they attended the preliminary meot-
ing or not. The proposition is, brief
ly to get corner on Little Neck
clans during the next season, and
force the consumers OF lIorse-radish
also, come to our terms. Our plan is
TO corner the clans and herd them till
we have pinched, peeled and pepper
ed the small buyers. Then, when
they have acceded 10 our terms and
started business again, 10 suddenly
shoot up the price ofhorse-radish 100
per cent. We can also unite with the
Lemon and Vinegar Trusts and make
things so high that consumers will
have to gather their clans with step
ladders. We could, by another year,
get our clutches on the cracker trade,
and, with the clam trade in our grasp,
it would be but little matter to get
control of all the remedies for collie.
With corner on clam collie and its
relief, we would practically regulate
